Visit Motueka's two cinemas
Not that long ago there were no cinemas in Motueka. Now we are rather spoilt by having two movie theatres, showing films which don't always compete with each other, therefore giving us a wider range of choice. We'll keep these facilities only if we use them, and both offer a fun night out. Check out their pros and cons in this article.

A cycle trip to Toad Hall
For people living near the centre or north of Motueka town, a round cycle trip (with backpack) to shop for your food and veges at Toad Hall can be a scenic and rewarding afternoon out. Several alternative sections of possible routes mean you can do this trip over again and check out different things each time.
